Chapter 520 Suspicion ([-])

The bright candlelight casts soft light through the sand tent as thin as cicada's wings.

Zhu Yun's face was serious, obviously not joking.

Yuan Min restrained his smile, and said softly: "When I knew about this, I also found it strange. If Emperor Father intended to let Shen You go to the frontier army, he wouldn't first order Shen You to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard."

Jin Yiwei and Frontier Army are two different factions.Jin Yiwei is the emperor's personal soldier, protecting the emperor and guarding the palace city.Frontier troops stationed at the border to resist foreign enemies.It is unprecedented to send the commander of Jinyiwei to serve in the frontier army.

Moreover, this incident was too sudden.

Zhu Yun was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "On the day my father made the decree, I heard that Prince Fu and my grandfather's great uncle and father-in-law both entered the palace. Perhaps there is indeed some reason that I don't know about."

Why did Emperor Qing'an eagerly send Shen You away from the capital?

What is it that you want to hide from him, the prince?
A cloud of suspicion lingered on Zhu Yun's chest, casting a shadow.

Yuan Min said: "No matter what, it is a foregone conclusion for Shen You to leave the capital. In a few days, he will set off with his wife and children. This trip, I am afraid that he will not return to Beijing for several years. Tomorrow, I will prepare a Give it a generous gift!"

Zhu Yun nodded slightly: "You have to worry more, the gift should be more generous."

Yuan Min hummed, then suddenly said: "By the way, Eunuch Feng has disappeared recently."

Zhu Yun said casually: "Eunuch Yang must have sent his adopted son out of the palace to run an errand."

Yuan Min didn't say any more, and tucked in the bedding for Zhu Yun: "It's getting late, go to bed early!"

Zhu Yun closed his eyes, but his mind did not stop.One guess after another passed through my mind.

The next day, Yuan Min personally prepared a gift and ordered the palace servants to send it to Cui's residence.Soon, the palace servants returned to the palace to reply: "Commander Shen and Mrs. Shen received the gifts, and ordered the servants to thank His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Concubine on their behalf."

He didn't mean to enter the palace to thank you.

Yuan Min's heart moved, and he asked casually: "Did you see Commander Shen today! From what you can see, how does he look? Is there any reluctance or resentment?"

The palace man hurriedly replied: "That's not true. The servants watched, Commander Shen was in a good mood, and Mrs. Shen was also smiling and laughing at Yan Yan."

In other words, both Shen You and his wife are willing to go to the border.

Suspicions floated in Yuan Min's heart. When he saw Zhu Yun, he didn't mention a word, and said casually: "The gift has been delivered. The couple will leave in a few days, and they are busy with packing and saluting, so they have no time to come to the East Palace to thank you. "

Zhu Yun raised his eyebrows, and met Yuan Min's eyes.

At this moment, a servant came in and reported: "His Royal Highness, the son of King Zhao is coming to the East Palace to ask for an audience."

Zhu Yun didn't want to see him at first, but a thought flashed by, and he changed his mind again: "Let him in."

Yuan Min retreated first.After a while, the plump Prince Zhao came in.That white, fat and handsome face was in a mess today, as if about to be forced to jump into a fire pit, as soon as he came in, he sighed.

Zhu Yun glanced at the past: "What are you doing like this? Who made things difficult for you?"

Prince Zhao said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, the emperor sent me a hard job. Shen You took a group of people to the border to work as an errand, and the emperor asked me to go with Zhu Yang Dinglang."

"It will take a month or two to run back and forth. The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is almost the twelfth lunar month. In such a cold day, I have to toss and turn like this. Don't mention how bitter it is."

As he said that, he begged hopefully: "How about, Your Highness intercede with the emperor for me, so don't let me go! Your Highness knows what I can do best. Even if I go to the frontier army, I don't understand anything about training soldiers." It’s nothing. It’s useless to go.”

Speaking of which, this is another surprising arrangement.

Shen You had once dealt with Zhu Yang, Dinglang and Zhu Yang, the heirs of King Zhao, and put them under house arrest for several days, and had enmity with each other.Both King Zhao and Prince Fu secretly sought out troubles for Shen You.Now, Shen You is going to the border, who is not good for Emperor Qing'an to send, but the three of them are sent together...

Among them, what is the reason?
Could it be that Shen You's going to the border has something to do with Prince Zhao Wangfu?

Did Emperor Qing'an send the three sons of King Zhao to accompany him to beat and warn Prince Zhao Wangfu?
At least, along the way, King Zhao and Prince Fu did not dare to send out assassins.Shen You and his party can reach the border safely.

It has to be said that Zhu Yun has a keen mind, and even inferred part of the truth without knowing anything.

Prince Zhao's son was still looking at Zhu Yun eagerly, waiting for Zhu Yun to nod.It's a pity that Prince Zhao's son is doomed to return disappointed.Zhu Yun had no intention of wading into the muddy water: "Father has issued an oral order, and he will not change it easily. You'd better accept the errand honestly, go there! You should go out of the capital to relax and come back years ago. "

Even if he wanted to relax, he didn't want to go to that ghost place at the border.

The son of King Zhao was full of depression, and soon left in dismay.

Zhu Yun was silent for a long time, called someone over, and gave some instructions in a low voice.The guard took the order and quietly withdrew.

……

Two days later, Yuan Hai entered the East Palace after noon and met His Highness the Crown Prince.

Yuan Hai was repeatedly instructed by General Yuan, and he was obviously full of thoughts, so he didn't dare to reveal it in front of Zhu Yun.He cheered up and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Your Highness's complexion is much better."

Zhu Yun glanced at him, and smiled: "I lie on the bed all day to recuperate, and don't worry about anything, the injury really heals quickly."

There is clearly something in these words.

Yuan Hai felt a little guilty, and his eyes wandered: "The border has won the battle, and the court is still peaceful. There is really nothing for His Highness to worry about."

Zhu Yun stared at Yuan Hai's face, and said slowly, "I'm worried about the Yuan family."

Yuan Hai's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the prince whose gaze suddenly sharpened: "What does your Highness mean?"

"There is no one else here, only us, Weng and my son-in-law." Zhu Yun's voice became more and more slow and composed: "Is father-in-law unwilling to tell me the truth?"

"Why did the father suddenly send Shen You to the frontier army?"

As soon as Shen You's name caught his ears, Yuan Hai's expression changed slightly.It quickly returned to normal, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that His Highness wanted to ask about this matter."

"Forget it, I will tell His Highness a few words of the truth."

"The emperor didn't want the Yuan family to be in charge of the frontier army all the time. He sent General Meng to be the leader of the frontier army. He still felt that it was not enough, so he ordered Shen You to bring fifty emperor's personal guards to go. When these people arrived in the frontier army, they immediately You can serve as a middle-level general. The next step is to gradually replace Yuan Jiaerlang..."

Speaking of this, Yuan Hai's complexion was gloomy, and his voice was full of embarrassment, not pretending: "The Yuan family is absolutely loyal to the imperial court, and even more loyal to the emperor. But I never thought that there would be today."

Zhu Yun said abruptly: "I already know Shen You's secret. Will my father-in-law continue to hide it from me?"
